Erdogan Agreed to Deploy Troops to Qatar

The president of Turkey, Tayyip Erdogan, agreed to deploy the Turkey's forces in Qatar. This became a signal of support for Qatar in facing the isolation imposed by some Arabic countries on charge of terrorism.


The process of legislation was completed after being published by the Government's official media Friday (9/6), following an announcement from the President Office, a day before. The new policy was proposed on Wednesday and immediately agreed by the president.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt quited their diplomatic relations with Qatar at the beginning of this week, with an accusation of the coutry close bound to Islamic militant. Some other states follow that step while Doha denied the allegations.

Qatar vowed to end the isolation and declare it will not answer its foreign policy sovereignty in resolving the biggest diplomatic crisis that has been being faced for the last decades.

Fighters and warships will be delivered, following the deployment of Turkey troops at a base in Doha, as reported in the Hurriyet, as quoted in Reuters.

"Turkey will send some numbers of fighters and warships to the base will be ascertained after the first review being done," said Hurriyet.

A delegation from Ankara will be sent to Qatar in the next few days to review the situation at the base which has already been a home to over 90 members of the Turkey army.

Some Turkey officials dont give any comment related to the report. However, Hurriyet mentions that there is a plan to send around 200-250 army within two months.

Erdogan also agreed on an agreement that stated it will be a joint military exercise between Turkey and Qatar on Thursday. Both policies were drafted before the dispute in the Middle East. Turkey also promised to provide food and water to Qatar.

Erdogan said that the isolation will not solve any problem. Erdogan, who has long tried to run a role as a mediator between thos powerful countries, said Ankara will do all to help resolve the crisis.

Turkey maintains good relations with Qatar and neighbors countries in Arabia. Turkey and Qatar are both supportive to Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the rebels fighting to topple President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad.

The legislation does not mention specifically how many troops will be sent.

Nigerian army Claims the Second Rescue of Chibok Girl

A second schoolgirl that was seized in the Nigerian town of Chibok has been found, the army says. But a spokesman for the Chibok girls' parents has cast doubt on the claims, saying that the girl's name is not on the families' list of those missing. An army spokesman said Serah Luka was among a group of 97 women and children rescued by troops in the north-east. Islamist militant group Boko Haram has abducted thousands of other girls in recent years, rights groups estimate. This comes two days after the rescue of the first Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki. The army has previously given misleading statements about the rescue of the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after Ms Nkeki was found, it used a wrong name. In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. Ms Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but...

Obama administration Issues Transgender Access to School Bathrooms

The issue of directing public schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms matching their gender identity is being discussed by the Obama administration on Friday. A joint letter from the Departments of Education and Justice will go out to schools on Friday with guidelines to ensure that "transgender students enjoy a supportive and nondiscriminatory school environment," the Obama administration said on Thursday. The announcement comes amid heated debate over transgender rights in schools and public life, which includes a legal standoff between the administration and North Carolina over its controversial House Bill 2. The guidance goes beyond the bathroom issue, touching upon privacy rights, education records and sex-segregated athletics, all but guaranteeing transgender students the right to identify in school as they choose. "There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on ...

An acclaimed actor and comedic genius like Will Ferrell is incredibly pleased to spend some valued time with his incredibly expensive bird collection, according to his good friend Adam McKay. McKay, who has directed Ferrell in films like "Anchorman" and "Step Brothers," told HuffPost Live on Monday that Ferrell's home is brimming with birds of all kinds, and Ferrell himself is a bit of a bird whisperer. "He has giant cages on his property filled with different tropical birds, and these are the kind of birds that will bite you, that you have to be careful with, but when it's him, they just fly right to his arm," McKay said. "Often times if you're at his house ... he has, like, a cockatiel on his shoulder for long stretches." An affinity for birds isn't exactly surprising, but what will shock you is the enormous monetary value of Ferrell's flock. "He had to have his bird collection insured, and I think it's wor...
